Problem

With Settings → General → Display → Time format set to 24-hour, four places still show times on the browser's default clock, for example "code expires at 5:30 PM" or "Nov 6, 2026, 1:39 AM". The rest of the app shows 17:30. Setting it to 12-hour on a 24-hour system does the reverse.

Change

The four places that ignored the setting now read it (useClientSettings((settings) => settings.timestampFormat)) and format through timestampFormat.ts, like the surfaces fixed before:

  • Settings → Source control → GitHub → "Sign in with GitHub": the "code expires at" time. It uses formatShortTimestamp, the same hour and minute as before.
  • The "Some requests are slow" toast → "Show requests": each request's "Started" time. It uses formatShortTimestamp with seconds, which it showed before. formatShortTimestamp takes an includeSeconds flag for this, passed to the existing getTimestampFormatter, which already supported it.
  • Settings → Sharing & access: a pairing link's creation and expiry tooltips, and a disconnected client's "Last connected at".
  • T3 Connect account → Mobile clients: the "Updated …" label.

The last two show a date and a time. They share a new formatDateTimeTimestamp. It keeps the dateStyle: "medium", timeStyle: "short" those labels already used ("Nov 6, 2026, 1:39 AM") and adds hour12 from the setting. formatAccessTimestamp and mobileClientUpdatedAtLabel now take the setting and call it, and their two module-level Intl.DateTimeFormats are gone.

Like every other timestamp since #6190, these labels now use timestampLocale. In a browser, System default output is unchanged. On desktop, they now follow the OS locale and hour cycle, as the rest of the app already does. With 12-hour forced on a 24-hour locale, the locale's two-digit hour is kept (en-GB: "05:30 pm"), because choosing explicit fields instead would change System default output in other locales.

Left out:

Scope and approval

This is the same obvious defect that #4438 (sidebar snooze), #15575 (Usage hourly labels) and #22915 (usage-limit banner reset time) fixed on other surfaces: a time formatted without the user's Time format setting. It fixes the remaining surfaces of that one defect together, adds no setting, and changes nothing else, so it falls under CONTRIBUTING's "very small, focused fix for an obvious bug" exception. Web and desktop are affected; mobile has no Time format setting.

Verification

apps/web/src/components/settings/ConnectionsSettings.logic.test.ts gains formatAccessTimestamp cases for 12-hour and 24-hour. Each expects the same medium date and short time Intl.DateTimeFormat gives for that hour cycle in the test machine's locale, so they pass in any locale. On main (ef81fd15ca), the 24-hour case fails:

 FAIL  |@t3tools/web (unit)| src/components/settings/ConnectionsSettings.logic.test.ts > formatAccessTimestamp > formats the time with the 24-hour setting
AssertionError: expected 'Oct 20, 2026, 5:30 PM' to be 'Oct 20, 2026, 17:30' // Object.is equality
      Tests  1 failed | 1 passed | 17 skipped (19)

With the fix:

  • vp test run apps/web/src/components/settings/ConnectionsSettings.logic.test.ts apps/web/src/timestampFormat.test.ts: 2 files, 20 tests passed.
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (2 packages), the tests beside the changes and the React compiler check pass.

The other surfaces only pass the setting into the same formatters, so they have no separate tests (callback wiring, per AGENTS.md).

In a running dev build (web, Windows), I set Time format to 24-hour, opened Settings → Sharing & access, created a pairing link and hovered its "Expires in …" label. The before shot runs main's copies of the changed files, and the after shot runs this branch:

main:   Nov 6, 2026, 1:39 AM
branch: Nov 6, 2026, 01:40
Before (main) After (this branch)
Before: with Time format set to 24-hour, the pairing link's expiry tooltip reads "Nov 6, 2026, 1:39 AM" After: the same tooltip reads "Nov 6, 2026, 01:40"

What I could not check in a running client: the GitHub sign-in code expiry (it starts a real device flow), the slow-request toast (it appears only after a request goes 15 s without an acknowledgement), and the mobile-clients label (it needs a T3 Connect account with a registered phone).

Bug: times ignore the Time format setting

Walkthrough

Selected timestamps now use the client’s configured timestamp format. Shared helpers support date-time formatting and optional seconds.

Changes: Configured timestamp formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared timestamp formatting
apps/web/src/timestampFormat.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/ConnectionsSettings.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/ConnectionsSettings.logic.test.ts
formatShortTimestamp accepts an optional seconds flag. formatDateTimeTimestamp formats dates with the configured hour cycle. Access timestamp formatting uses the shared helper, with tests for 12-hour and 24-hour output.
Client and access settings displays
apps/web/src/components/clerk/MobileClientsUserProfilePage.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/clerk/MobileClientsUserProfilePage.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/AuthorizedClientsSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ConnectDeviceApprovalSettings.tsx
Mobile client update labels, pairing-link timestamps, disconnected-client timestamps, and trusted-device timestamps use the configured timestamp format.
Short timestamp displays
apps/web/src/components/SlowRpcRequestToastCoordinator.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/SourceControlAppSignInSettings.tsx
Slow request start times and source-control device-code expirations use the configured timestamp format. The slow request display includes seconds.

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge, maria-rcks

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 7ede6

This change makes several clock times in the web UI follow the 12- or 24-hour Time format setting. The affected surfaces are the sign-in code expiry, the slow-request toast, the Sharing and access timestamps, and the mobile-client labels. The change is small and display-only, with tests for both hour cycles, and no concrete merge-blocking defect was found.

Explanation

The title names the change: clock times in the settings and toasts now follow the Time format setting. The raw summary and the description confirm this. The four surfaces it covers (GitHub sign-in code expiry, slow-request toast, Sharing & access timestamps, and T3 Connect mobile-client labels) all fall under 'settings and toasts', though the mobile-client label sits in a page that is not strictly a settings page. The title is specific and conventional.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and the title follows the conventional-commit style the template asks for. Problem and Change are clear. Scope states why the change is a small bug fix under the CONTRIBUTING exception and links related issues and PRs. Verification gives focused test commands, a failing-then-passing result on main, and a before/after screenshot for the UI change. Two items are not checked in a running client, and the author states this openly. The template's agent-attribution line is present.

Settings > General > Time format picks 12-hour or 24-hour times, and most
surfaces honor it after pingdotgg#4438, pingdotgg#15575 and pingdotgg#22915. Four still formatted
with the browser's default clock: the source control sign-in "code expires
at" time, the slow-request toast's "Started" time, the Sharing & access
pairing-link and last-connected labels, and the T3 Connect mobile clients
"Updated" label. With 24-hour selected they kept showing "5:30 PM".

They now read the setting and format through timestampFormat.ts. The
time-only labels use formatShortTimestamp; the slow-request toast keeps
its seconds. The date-and-time labels share a new formatDateTimeTimestamp,
which keeps the medium date they showed and adds the setting's clock.

Bug: times ignore the Time format setting

The automated pipeline stopped on this pull request and will not merge it:

the proof was not accepted:

  • The diff changes render paths no capture shows: SourceControlAppSignInSettings 'code expires at' (expiryTime replaced by formatShortTimestamp), SlowRpcRequestToastCoordinator 'Started' (now formatShortTimestamp with seconds), MobileClientsUserProfilePage 'Updated' label (formatDateTimeTimestamp), AuthorizedClientsSettings 'Last connected at' tooltip, and ConnectDeviceApprovalSettings 'Trusted since'. The stated bug and expected behaviour cover all four surfaces, but the evidence covers only the pairing-link created/expiry tooltips in Sharing & access.
  • The new formatDateTimeTimestamp and the changed formatAccessTimestamp use timestampLocale (resolved from the host system locale) instead of the browser default locale. That is a behaviour change on desktop when the host OS locale differs from the browser locale. It is not captured, and the proof itself lists it as unverified.
  • No capture shows the slow-request toast still showing seconds, or 'System default' padding there, after the switch from toLocaleTimeString to formatShortTimestamp(…, true).
  • Not a defect: in each pair the after frames differ from the before frames only in the server port, the tooltip time text, and the 'Expires in' countdown. Pixel-diff bounding boxes are confined to x 243-520, y 191-520 on every pair, and the setting frames are pixel-identical.

It stays open for a person to finish or close.
